2017 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4L Petrol · EL13 NEK

The 2017 Vauxhall Corsa presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 November 2025 at 116,140 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only anomaly is a failed test on 17 November 2023 at 79,733 miles that recorded no defects; the vehicle passed on the same day, indicating a likely administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sat at 64,193 in the 18 November 2022 test and rose to 79,733 by 17 November 2023, then 99,645 on 14 November 2024 and 116,140 on 14 November 2025. The car covered roughly 16,500 miles per year across the last three intervals, above the 12,904 annual average for its age. The record shows no gaps longer than twelve months and no sudden accumulation spikes; the clean sheets at every test suggest the previous owners kept basic consumables and emissions within limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high mileage for a nine-year-old supermini. The MOT data flags no corrosion, structural integrity issues, or binding calipers, but worn rubber components and tired dampers will not always trigger advisories until degraded. Check the exhaust emissions and tyre condition in person despite the absence of advisories. The same-day fail and pass in November 2023 warrants a glance at the V5C and test certificate to confirm no suppressed defect. Overall the documented history implies disciplined annual upkeep rather than deferred maintenance.
